Vexcolt’s 130 Series with a grey gasket was used to provide an elegant finish with a minimal sightline, worthy of the surrounding buildings. Where settlement would reach 10mm, the 300 series was installed to meet any slip resistant safety measures.

The challenges of this project were to deliver a proposal that kept a minimalistic finish that would fit in with the contemporary architecture of the famous library. Where a new wing was being constructed a 10mm settlement movement would need to be accommodated between old and new structures whilst meeting slip resistant regulations.
